Some states/provinces allow someone to be committed, even if they aren't an immediate danger, if they've been a danger in the past and are likely to become a danger in the future if untreated. In any case, this is not something that you can, or should, cope with on your own. "Tim" seems to be a support to you, but, like one of the above supporter said, it may be time to reach out to reach out to your friend's family. I would also recommend contacting a professional to ask what you can do for your friend and for yourself.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
